By means of the Boltzmann-Vlasov equation we investigate dynamical properties of a trapped dipolar Fermi gas. In order to determine an approximative solution, we follow Ref. [1] and rescale both space and momentum variables, thus obtaining ordinary differential equations for the respective scaling parameters. Then, we procced by linearizing these equations around the equilibrium in order to study the low-lying excitations of the system. Within the relaxation-time approximation for the collisional integral, our approach is able to describe the low-lying excitations all the way from the collisionless [2] to the hydrodynamic [3] regime.
